Back when we only knew that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 would have “at least” 625hp and 635lb-ft of torque, GM brass stated that it would be priced similarly to the C6 Z06, but with the C7 Z06 likely beating the previous Corvette ZR1 in every day – I really have to question the idea of the new Z06 costing as much as the old Z06.

The 2015 Ford Mustang will be the first of the fabled pony cars marketed on a global scale so to show off the new Mustang V8 on one of the biggest European stages possible – Ford Motor Company sent a professionally driven Mustang GT to the famous Goodwood Hill Climb for the new muscle car’s first racing effort.

The folks at Callaway have announced the official specs for their 2014/2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray package and for around $23,000, the Callaway Corvette packs an incredible 627 horsepower and 610lb-ft of torque – coming in a touch under the Z06 in power while likely costing far less.

When it was announced last week that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would come with 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, I referred to it as the most powerful American production car of all time and after getting some feedback on that claim, I wanted to take a moment to justify why I believe that to be true.

When the Chrysler Group announced last week that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would pack an incredible 707 horsepower along with a beefier 8-speed automatic transmission, some were concerned that there wouldn’t be a manual transmission for the Hellcat – but I am happy to report that the most powerful American production car ever will indeed have a manual transmission option.

Since we began talking about the 6th generation Chevrolet Camaro coming for the 2016 model year, it has been expected that it would look like a revised version of the 5th generation models, but a new rumor indicates that it could undergo a more substantial exterior refresh that could have styling more similar to that of the second generation Camaro.
